AEMO has released a determination to help simplify the technical requirements for renewables and BESS connecting to Australia’s NEM.

Epic Energy’s 100MW/200MWh Mannum battery energy storage system (BESS) in South Australia has entered the commissioning phase.

AEMO has revealed a big increase in battery energy storage system (BESS) output in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM).

AEMO has revealed that, as of March 2025, the pipeline of new standalone BESS in the NEM has increased by 86% year-on-year (YoY).

Samsung C&T Renewable Energy Australia has submitted plans for a 320MWh battery storage system in New South Wales to Australia’s EPBC Act.

A 238.5MW/477MWh standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) has been commissioned in South Australia, and an optimisation deal signed for another of the state’s largest BESS assets.

ESN Premium hears from Tom Best, COO at Eku Energy, what it takes to comply with Australia’s Generator Performance Standards.

Developers entering competitive solicitations for energy storage have been offered advice on how to be successful.

Gold Green Energy has secured consent for a 400MWh solar-plus-BESS site, whilst AEMO has seen 18.1GW of BESS seeking a connection to the NEM.

Estimated net revenue, covering both energy and FCAS markets, for grid-scale batteries on the NEM reached AU$69.5 million in Q4 2024.
